Enslaved By The CEO

| CHAPTER TWENTY |

Zach’s hug tightened on me. “Why are you crying, Nathania?” It asked but I did not answer. I broke free from its embrace and wiped away the tears.

“I-I’m sorry …” I’m sorry.

“I think, I know the reason why you cried.” Turan it and someone pressed.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you’ll cry after what we saw earlier. I-It thought-”

“It’s okay. I’m used to it. I just couldn’t stop crying …” I said.

“You like him …” I said quietly.

No, I love him.

I broke my promise to myself that she would not be loved.

I lost ….

I fell in love with him.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

I fell in love with Clyde….

“Where do you want to go?” He asked when we got to the parking lot.

“W-Anywhere…” I replied in a weak voice.

“Okay… let’s go.” He grabbed me by the waist and opened his car door. but I wasn’t even able to ride when suddenly someone punched Zach. My eyes widened and immediately joined Zach from lying down.

“F-ck you, Clyde!” Zach shouted and stood up to punch Clyde as well but I stopped him.

“P-Please don’t, Zach.” I promise. he stopped and smeared the blood on the side of its lip.

“F-ck you too, Zach !!” Clyde shouted and was about to punch again but I stopped him as well.

“Please, that’s enough !!” I shouted at her as tears flowed again.

Its dark eyes stared at me.

“That’s enough, Clyde …”I think.

“Let’s go, Nathania-”

“Don’t touch her!!” Clyde shouted at Zach.

“Yes, I can. I have the right to touch her, Clyde. She’s not yours. You don’t own her.” Zach is against.

“She’s mine. I own her! So don’t touch her and stay away from her!” Clyde pulled me away. Zach would have objected but I stopped him.

“It’s OK.” I mouthed.

I pulled Clyde until he let me into his car.

“Who told you to come here ?!” This is a question.

I wiped away my tears and he did not answer.

Useless to explain to the angry person.

“Answer me, Nathania!”

“You don’t have to shout at me, Clyde. If you’re mad because you got hung up, we didn’t mean to disturb you and Daniella-”

“F-ck that! I’m asking why you’re here!” It screamed again.

Tears are forming in my eyes again. Ready to go out again.

“I-I’m sorry …” I just said.

“You should have told me! You should have told me you were coming here.”

“It’s okay. Maybe it’s only right that I come here.” I took a deep breath.

“Daniella Monroe ‘right? She’s beautiful. Rich. You’re a thing. Besides, what we came across earlier was only natural for the groom. It’s only natural for you two because it’s you, isn’t it? You have a relationship. It’s only natural. I understand. “I faked a smile to him.

He didn’t speak and just stared at me.

“Sure, it’s okay isn’t it ? you don’t need me anymore. You don’t need me to warm your bed anymore because you have Daniella. You don’t need me anymore.” My tears flowed and got out of his car.

I returned to Zach and immediately got into his car.

“Where?” This is a question.

“In a place where I can forget that pain even for a moment.” My answer.

He took me to the restaurant and frowned at me, which he immediately noticed.

“You need to eat, Nathania.” He said that’s why I just didn’t protest.

After we ate it took me to the park. we stayed a few hours here till afternoon. But it doesn’t help me. Almost everything I see here is magjo-jowa.

“Zach, I told the place that I can forget the pain even for a moment. And this park is not helping me.” I guess he laughed softly.

“Okay, then…” He said and pulled me back to the car.

I just realized that it took me to a bar.

“I think, maybe this place can help?” Zach asked and I nodded.

We entered the bar. People are dancing, drinking, and enjoying themselves here. maybe… this place can help me forget the pain… even just for a while.

I don’t know how many shots I’ve taken. All I know is that I’m already drunk. Zach was just next to me and didn’t drink. I told him everything I felt. I told him the diseases that Clyde gave me.

“W-Why don’t you want to drink?” I will ask.

“It’s not possible, Nathania. I’ll drive. I’ll drop you off.”

“Who said I was going home?” I let out a laugh.

“Nathania, it’s almost 9 in the evening. You’re already drunk.”

“I don’t care! I’ll drink more!” I screamed and poured wine again.

“Nathania…. let’s go home.” He tried and pulled me.

“I-I don’t want to!” I whine.

“You’re drunk! You need to go home!”

“I don’t want to puke-” I couldn’t finish when I suddenly threw up on the floor.

“Oh sh-t! come on, I’ll take you home. “He finally said and pulled me back into his car.

“Drink this.” He said and handed me the water. I drank it. I’m also a little tired while traveling.

“Do you want to go in my condo or … Clyde’s house?” He asked after the silence.

I breathed deeply. My decision is complete.

“I-I want to get away from him. I want all the pain I’m feeling to end.” I thought he was looking at me.

“I can help you Nathania. I have a house in Santander, Cebu. You are safe there.” He said that surprised me.

“W-Why are you helping me, Zach?” I asked.

He smiled sadly. “It’s because I can see my mother in you, Nathania. S-She died because of my father. He used to always hurt my mother. Beating, stomping, twisting, and bringing women to the house. until mom couldn’t take it… s-she committed suicide. That’s why I’m helping you Nathania… I don’t want you to be like my mom.” My eyes widened when I heard from him.

“I-I’m sorry…” I just said. He smiled at me and continued driving.

“If you want to stay away from Clyde, I can help you.”

“I’m sorry, Zach. I broke up your friendship.” I’m sorry he nodded.

“It’s fine. He’s doing it wrong. He needs to wake up to the truth.” It made me gasp.

“I-I want to go to his house … I-I’ll just take my things.” I said he just nodded.

In just a few minutes we reached the opposite side of the house. We got out of the car together. I opened the gate and faced him.

“I’ll just get my things …”

“What if Clyde’s inside?” it asked.

“B-Would-”

“I didn’t give you the permission to come here, Zach.” We both turned to Clyde when he spoke behind my back.

“I didn’t come here for you.” Zach replied.

Clyde’s face darkened and his fists clenched.

“Leave her alone!” Clyde shouted.

“You should be the one to stay away from him-”

“Zach, it’s okay…” I cut off and faced Clyde.

“I’ll just get my things.” I said seriously to him and walked towards my room.

I opened the closet and took all my clothes to put in the bag.

“What are you doing Nathania?!” it shouted as it followed me.

I didn’t answer him and just continued what I was doing. But while I was busy doing, he suddenly pulled me and made me face him. It grabbed both of my shoulders.

“I didn’t give you the permission to leave this house!” He shouted.

I tried to get away from him and looked at him angrily.

“I want to go, Clyde!” I screamed too.

“You’re not leaving here Nathania until I say so!”

“Can you?! You don’t own me! You don’t need me anymore! You already have Daniella! you have Daniella ready to warm your body and your bed! You have Daniella who is ready to give herself to you!” His eyes narrowed.

“Maybe you’re forgetting that I own you? I own you, Nathania! I don’t care about other girls!” He said and held my arms tightly. I felt its nails piercing my arm.

“A-Aray …” I was overcome with pain.

“You are mine. You can’t escape from me. You can’t run away from me.” It seemed that my tears were dripping again.

“T-That’s right!” I shouted and struggled but it preceded me. he leaned me against the wall and was about to strangle me.

“P-Please! I don’t want it anymore! I don’t want it anymore! I-I’m so tired Clyde! I-I’m tired of the pain you make me feel! I-I’m tired of being your excuse! I-I don’t want to be here anymore! I don’t want you anymore-” I cried when he slapped me.

I fell to my knees on the floor while my cheeks were swollen. Tears quickly flowed from my eyes. I cried out in pain. I cried from exhaustion and anger.

“I-I don’t want to… I want to leave here! P-Let me go, Clyde! I’m so tired of you! I-I don’t want to be hurt anymore! a-I don’t want to be sick anymore! You feel sorry… I don’t want to…” I reached for her clothes while kneeling.

“Stand up, Nathania.” It’s true but I shook my head.

“P-I’m sorry. I-I’m begging you, Clyde. Please let me go… I-I’m tired-”

“You know that if you’ll leave I’ll hurt your friend, Spencer. I can even hurt and destroy Zach for helping you.” It was a cold voice that angered me even more.

“H-Don’t empathize with them, you’re an animal! Demon! There’s no mercy! A-What do you really need from me?! why are you punishing me like this ?! Why don’t you let me go- ”

“It’s because you’re mine and I own you, Nathania. I owned your body, your soul and your heart.”

“You owned my body and soul but not my heart!” Lies, Nathania. Liar.

Yes, I love him. I have learned to love him but I am not a martyr. Yes I love him. I loved him even though he was the person who was the reason why my life was hell.

“I owned everything about you, Nathania.” It forced me to my feet and leaned against the wall again.

“Now, let me show you who owned you-”

“Oh f-ck Nathania!!” Zach comes in and punches Clyde. He then punched Clyde as he fell to the floor.

“F-ck you Clyde!” He was still punching it. Clyde’s face is bleeding which worries me.

I immediately approached Zach and pulled him away from Clyde.

“Zach, that’s it!!” I shouted and pulled him. It moved away from Clyde and retreated.

“I’ll swear, Clyde. I’ll keep Nathania away from you. I’ll make sure you never see her again. She doesn’t deserve you. You don’t deserve her either.” He said this to Clyde and pulled my hand.

“Let’s go, Nathania. you need to leave. ”
